Few feelings in gaming can rival the euphoria of putting together a great run or, conversely, the anguish of seeing a massive trick multiplier evaporate by losing your balance or missing a landing. Runs are never too long, though, and you’re free to restart at any time so even failures rarely feel like you’ve wasted your time.

Each playthrough is structured the same. You open with a brief exchange with Stephanie, the bartender, and then Round 1 of texting with Sam. That’s followed by either a brief conversation with your ex-boyfriend Dante or Jimmy, who mistakes you for someone he’s supposed to meet from a dating app. After that you get a second text burst with Sam, then Dante or Jimmy (whoever you didn’t talk to the first time), and then the finale with Sam. That’s it.

Serving as a prequel to the previous games, Desperados III focuses on the origins of series protagonist John Cooper, who finds himself hunting down the man that killed his father in the Old West circa the 1870s. Along the way he’ll link up with four others: Doc McCoy, Hector Mendoza, Kate O’Hara and Isabelle Moreau. Together, they’ll try to overcome the odds and deliver a sense of closure and justice for Cooper.

Naughty Dog didn’t make a lot of changes to the original’s setup, especially when it comes to combat. Aiming can still feel a little shaky, which, coupled with the frustratingly low number of bullets you can carry, made stealth the preferred option throughout. Melee fights are intense and visceral as you dodge enemy strikes and counter with brutal blows of your own to create an almost choreographed feel. It’s delightfully savage.

Despite the fun we had with the game, Maneater is lacking in some departments, and perhaps the biggest shortfall comes in the A.I. It’s not good. Predators will always attack you, even if they’re a Level 1 muskie and you’re a Level 30 shark (there’s a mutation you can equip to stop it, but that shouldn’t be necessary). Those same predators will also give up pursuit, even if they’ve nearly killed you, allowing you to feast on smaller fish to heal up.

Setting up a headset is as simple as it has ever been, and the Cloud Mix uses a braided 3.5mm cable that simply plugs into any 3.5mm cable ports found on PCs, MACs, PS4 controllers, cell phones, the Nintendo Switch and even some VR systems, with the only downside being the lack of a USB adapter which will be required for use on an Xbox One controller. In the box you will also receive a two-metre 3.5mm PC extension cable which will allow more convenience for certain PC setups, even going as far as leaving too much slack on the cable. Therefore, we recommend leaving the twist tie on and only using as much cable as you need.

Obviously the big draw of a remaster is the presentation, and Beenox has done an excellent job of taking Infinity Ward’s classic and updating the graphics. It doesn’t feel cutting edge visually with explosion and fire elements looking a little dated and some of the outdoor sections being pretty sparsely populated.
